Best way to avoid turning a bowl into a funnel is to drill a measured depth hole so we know hot deep to hollow.
Some turners score the drill bit at various distances. Some mark the bit with a Sharpie. Some use tape. I've used a rubber band, but when it broke, I tried using a small magnet on the bit. That worked well enough, until it didn't.

you probably know the story. I made a couple of projects on a wood lathe in junior high school wood shop in the 1950s. I didn't touch a lathe again until July last year. I'd watched a few woodturning videos and got the bug. The prices of new lathes stopped me, but I found a lathe like the one I'd used in junior high at a sale and bought it for $200. That, and a few tools, got me started.
After I had enough experience to have a good idea of what I wanted to turn and what equipment I'd need to do that, I bought a Laguna Revo 12/16 with the bed extension that can also mount low on the left side to allow turning larger bowls. I expect this lathe to serve for the rest of my turning life.
Woodturning is an adventure in learning and creating. It's great fun, even for a beginner.
